| Don’t wait for a
crisis to start thinking about estate planning. Many people find
themselves in sudden
and considerable legal, financial and emotional hardship when their
loved ones become incapacitated or pass away without clearly defined
instructions regarding oversight of their children, assets and/or
property. The failure to properly prepare for life transitions can
often lead to increased costs and loss of control over important
personal and financial choices. When it comes to estate planning, our experience is that everybody has different concerns. For these reason, we don’t use “one-size-fits-all” estate plans. We create unique, personalized plans for each of our clients giving them the peace of mind of knowing that their loved ones will be prepared and protected. The lawyers in our Trusts, Wills and Estates Group take the time to listen to the client’s concerns and, using their specialized knowledge, create a specific plan to accomplish the intended goal. We are highly experienced in drafting Wills and Living Trusts and in minimizing estate (death) taxes. We will discuss with you the planning methods available and ensure that you understand how your plan will work. We know that estate planning is a complex topic. We are also aware that there is a lot of information accessible to you. Unfortunately our experience is that a little knowledge can sometimes lead to more confusion. We know that our job is not done until the client understands. Our attorneys are also experienced in the area of estate and trust administration. After the inevitable happens, family members and heirs can feel confident that we will guide them through this difficult period in an understanding and compassionate manner. We understand that family members may not be in the state of mind to deal with strict time requirements, the valuation and possible sale of assets or the fluctuation of asset values. Since any delays could result in adverse consequences to the estate, we have developed an electronic case management system that allows us to monitor all details of the estate. We take care of the details, so our clients can get back to taking care of their families. Unfortunately the death of loved one can sometimes result in disagreements. Heirs may contest the validity of a Will or trust. Our attorneys have substantial experience in contested probate, trust and estate matters. Of course we know that the best and most cost effective solution is an out-of-Court settlement. However, sometimes an agreement cannot be reached, and Court proceedings must be started. We have years of litigation experience and are well-versed in all aspects of Court procedures. Nobody wants to be involved in litigation. However, if it cannot be avoided, our clients can be assured that our lawyers are aggressive and experienced and will use every effort to achieve the best possible result for their case.
